stirring thoughts from a traveler on a journey along life's trails and pathways... its valleys and mountains and oceans too, of simple joys and intricate weaves of adventure...thoughts of hope in the goodness of things and faith in a loving God...a way of seizing the day.

Reminded

I was a bit un-centered the past days. I want to write about many things and most especially about the blessings that continue to overflow my cup. But inspite of all these blessings, a void is forming. I am constantly aware to be thankful for the blessings. Indeed it helps to blog about it. But once in a while I find myself looking at my feet and not at the horizon so to speak. I've come to realize that our learning is life long. I forget that it is better to be more loving than correct. Then, with many questions in my mind lately, He answers my pondering with one of His promise below which I stumbled upon at On the Horizon:

“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

“But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

“And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.

“For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.

“But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.”

Luke 12:2-31
